A boat crosses a river of width 244 m in which the current has a uniform speed of 1.99 m/s. The pilot maintains a bearing (i.e.,

the direction in which the boat points) perpendicular to the river and a throttle setting to give a constant speed of 1.68 m/s relative to the water. How far downstream from the initial position is the boat when it reaches the opposite shore

Answer:289.02\ m

Explanation:

Given

width of river d=244\ m

velocity of current v_1=1.99\ m/s

Velocity of boat w.r.t to current v_{21}=1.68\ m/s perpendicular to current

therefore Perpendicular component of velocity will help boat to cover the width of river in t_1 time which is given by

t_1=\frac{244}{v_{21}}

t_1=\frac{244}{1.68}=145.23\ s

In this time current will drift the boat a distance of

x=v_1\times t_1

x=1.99\times 145.23

x=289.02\ m

A car accelerates uniformly in a straight line
julia-pushkina [17]

The car travels a distance <em>d</em> from rest with acceleration <em>a</em> after time <em>t</em> of

<em>d</em> = 1/2 <em>a</em> <em>t</em>²

It covers 69 m with 2.8 m/s² acceleration, so that

69 m = 1/2 (2.8 m/s²) <em>t</em>²

<em>t</em>² = 2 (69 m) / (2.8 m/s²)

<em>t</em> ≈ 7.02 s

where we take the positive square root because we're talking about time *after* the car begins accelerating.

A mass of 5 kg stretches a spring 20 cm. The mass is acted on by an external force of 10 sin t 6 N (newtons) and moves in a medi
nordsb [41]

Answer:

u" + 40u' + 49u = 2 sin(t/6)        

upp + 40up + 49u = 2 sin(t/6)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

mass = 5 kg

L = 20 cm = 0.2 m

F = 10 sin(t/6)N

Fd(t) = - 6 N

u(0) = 0.03 m/s

u(0) = 0

u'(0) = 3 cm/s

Step 2:

ω =kL

k = ω/L = m*g /L = (5*9.8)/0.2 = 245 kg/s²

Since Fd(t) = -γu'(t)  we know:

γ =- Fd(t) / u'(t) = 6N/ 0.03 m/s = 200 Ns/m

The initial value problem which describes the motion of the mass is given by

5u" + 200u' + 245u = 10 sin(t/6)   u(0) = 0  ;  u'(0) = 0.03

This is equivalent to:

u" + 40u' + 49u = 2 sin(t/6)        u(0) = 0  ;  u'(0) = 0.03

upp + 40up + 49u = 2 sin(t/6)

With u in m and t in s

A racing car on a straight accelerates from 100mph to 316 mph in three seconds what is the acceleration?
omeli [17]

Answer:

72mph/sec

Explanation:

The car goes from 100mph to 316mph in three seconds. Meaning it increases its speed by (316 - 100)mph in three seconds. That is 216 mph increase in three seconds. So, we divide the speed increase by the amount of time the increase occurred over. We get:

216mph / 3sec = 72mph/sec, our final answer

Hope it made sense. I would appreciate Brainliest, but no worries.

What does addition of two vectors give you?
mash [69]

Answer:

Explanation:

To add or subtract two vectors, add or subtract the corresponding components. Let →u=⟨u1,u2⟩ and →v=⟨v1,v2⟩ be two vectors. The sum of two or more vectors is called the resultant. The resultant of two vectors can be found using either the parallelogram method or the triangle method .
